My anxiety: *gets so bad sometimes that my body shuts down and I am physically unable to eat for days* My internalized ableism: haha, u know what, im probably actually faking all this mental health stuff, actually.

If I see one more person trying to sane-wash the president of our country posting an AI video of himself dressed up as a king airdropping feces on American citizens exercising their first amendment right, I am going to go certifiably insane. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL. OR. OKAY. Stop acting like it is.

Manager at Domino’s: I'm so sorry about the mix-up. Let me comp your order for the inconvenience. I'll start that process right away. Me, a chronic people-pleaser with self-esteem issues: oh no, this is so much worse than my pizza being late.

I thought I was alone in this 😭 My Linkin Park obsessed friends and family don't understand how annoying their obsessions are! They'll ask me "What is it about me that annoys you so much?" and all I always respond "Everything you say to me."

Dead of night? Power out because of a huge storm? No car to drive yourself anywhere with power? Feel like you're going insane stuck inside the house with no lights and no sounds? Ask your doctor if wandering around town on foot like you're a survivor in an apocalyptic wasteland is right for you!

One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that how I was treated *because* of my mental illnesses did just as much damage to me as my actual mental illnesses did. I am spending so much time unlearning internalized ableism so that I can actually heal and move forward.

Originally, this post said "Today was bad. Nature helped." And hearing the news today *was* bad. I cried. I raged. But you know what else happened? I laughed til I cried on the way to the grocery store. I went for a walk and watched the sunset. There is still beauty. I'm going to fight for it.

This aspect of it has been so terrifying to me. Two politicians were assassinated a little over two weeks ago and it isn't even on the radar for a majority of the country anymore, because it just keeps coming. The overwhelm of bad things happening is absolutely suffocating.

Dying, becoming unhoused, or being imprisoned are the options a lot of people are going to be faced with. I get accused of being hyperbolic when I say it, but it's the absolute truth.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

I grew up in rural Kentucky. 3 hospitals near my hometown are at high risk for shutdown. If they go, the closest hospital would be nearly an hour away. People are going to die because of this, and huge swaths of them are still cheering it on. I will never, EVER understand them. Or forgive them.

I've spent the past 5 months genuinely and sincerely trying to engage with people who support the current administration on a nearly daily basis. It's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

I’ve seen more than one post now of people saying the Republicans will pay a political price for this vote in 2026 and I gotta say folks… you’re all way more optimistic than I am. Americans aren’t great with cause and effect. They’ll assume their Medicaid got cut because of Dems somehow

I keep telling people that I don't throw around the whole "they're in a cult" thing lightly. They're not going to magically wake up one morning and undo decades of brainwashing - they're going to cling tighter, and fight harder, and continue to deny reality. I see numerous examples of it daily.

between having to weather "psychotic" as a synonym for ultimate evil and "manic" as a synonym for mildly yet boringly quirky, trying to explain my severe but not violent or dangerous mental illness to others: sucks

It's been equal parts terrifying and fascinating to watch conspiracy theories be created, spread, and accepted as fact in real time via memes on Facebook.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

There were around 50 people protesting in my town today. It was a completely peaceful on our part. Counter-protesters, however, threw ice and rocks at an elderly blind woman who was protesting.

Every time I take a break from the news for my mental health, I come back to discover that not only is there a veritable onslaught of news waiting for me, almost every single bit of it is mind-bogglingly horrific and cruel. How the hell are we supposed to keep going?

Talking about the midterms feels like discussing what kind of wallpaper to put up in the living room of a house that is actively burning down.

Went hiking again this evening. Climbed up a peak, found a cave in a wall - there were birds living there.
